not just in the foreign policy side, but really to his character. we saw his wife introduced herself to the american people really for the first time in this campaign at the level that she did tonight. but she also helped paint a picture of not just joe biden the candidate, but the family at large, which really helps the campaign sell this message to the country that this is us as a family unit. this is the type of family and values that drive us when no one is looking and this is how joe biden would govern if elected president. i think that is a powerful contrast that they will try to put up against president trump as the election continues. >> that moment when he talked about losing his first wife and how jill made the family whole, the setting at the high school where dr. jill biden was a former teacher, and the backdrop of so many parents preparing to send their kids to school, most schools being held virtually. >> i thought that was a really interesting choice. if this campaign and this election becomes an ugly, impassioned battle and debate ov
